1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

This study aimed to identify risk factors for major postoperative complications (TMM) and their impact on overall survival in patients aged ≥80 years undergoing lung cancer surgery, a group at increased risk of morbidity. A total of 88 patients aged ≥80 years who underwent anatomical lung resections were retrospectively analyzed. Postoperative complications were classified into minor or no complications (TMM 0-2) and major (TMM ≥ 3) complications. Logistic regression analysis was performed to identify independent predictors of major complications. Kaplan-Meier estimates were used to measure overall survival. Major complications occurred in 24 patients (27.3%). Multivariable regression analysis identified perioperative blood transfusion as an independent risk factor for major complications (
